Better wages. Safer workplaces. Stronger representation for women and young workers.
That's the goal of a new three-year project from UNI Africa, launched with the support of Finnish trade union solidarity organization SASK, to strengthen unions for private services workers in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire.
"When workers are in a union, they are better positioned to negotiate fair wages, safe working conditions and greater dignity at work," said UNI Africa Regional Secretary Keith Jacobs.

🇵🇰 A huge victory for postal workers in Pakistan who have fought off plans to cut thousands of jobs. Pakistan Post had proposed cutting 30 per cent of its 30,000-strong workforce but thanks to determined and immediate action by our affiliate, the Pakistan Postal Workers Federation, that plan has now been withdrawn and management has agreed to stop further implementation of restructuring plans ✊

Today, Amazon drivers in multiple locations in Italy are walking off the job and UNI Global Union stands with every single one of them. 💪🇮🇹
To every driver on the picket line today: you are not alone. The global labour movement has your back. 🌍❤️

Artificial Intelligence won't benefit companies or society if workers don't have a say in how it is used in their workplace.
That's why social dialogue is so important.

UNI Global’den iklim krizi araştırması: Aşırı Hava Koşullarıyla Başa Çıkmak
🔴 Sendikamız Sosyal-İş’in de üyesi olduğu UNI Global Union (UNI Küresel Sendika), işçilerin iklim krizinden ve aşırı hava olaylarından nasıl etkilendiğini inceleyen bir rapor yayımladı. 21 ülkeden 5.857 işçiyle yapılan küresel bir anketten yola çıkarak hazırlanan rapor göre;
📊 Dünya çapında işçilerin %60’tan fazlası son üç yılda aşırı hava olaylarının işlerini daha zor ya da tehlike hale getirdiğini,
❌ %25’inden fazlası işverenin aşırı hava olaylarına karşı hiçbir önlem almadığını,
☂️ Sadece %5’inden azı acil durumlarda ücretli izne ulaşabildiğini ifade ediyor.
🔴 Rapora göre işçiler hastalanıyor, gelir kaybına uğruyor ve uykusuz kalıyor; üstelik pek çok işyerinde bu konuda hiçbir adım atılmıyor.
